FREE PRINTABLE LITTLE LOVE BIRDS PAPER CRAFT TUTORIAL

MY FIRST FREE PRINTABLE FOR YOU TO DOWNLOAD AND MAKE!!
This set of 2 little birds will look lovely sitting on a shelf or hanging gently in the breeze.
They are the best of  friends and show their affection by giving gifts of handpicked flowers.
This is a super easy and quick project to make, especially for beginners. With a little adult supervision they are a great paper craft for kids too. Have fun and print as many as you like, they would make a lovely little gift.

You will need: scissors or a craft knife, double sided stick tape or glue, cotton thread if you would like to hang your little birds.
